In the mid 90's Paul and his wife purchased their first loft property in South End. They later bought a historic bungalow in Plaza Midwood. A few years later they decided to renovate their bungalow. This sparked Paul's interest in real estate.

Paul witnessed the transformation that was happening in the Charlotte area. With a desire to be part of this growth, Paul realized his dream and decided to change careers and become involved in the real estate industry. With a background in sales and having already established a strong emphasis on client service, the transition into real estate seemed a natural step in his career.

Paul is committed to making your real estate experience as smooth as possible. He is skilled in negotiating with other real estate agents, contractors, financial and legal representatives needed to close a deal effectively and quickly. So whether representing the buyer or seller, his expertise and enthusiasm translate into real success.

Matt started his real estate career indirectly in 2001 in the field of residential construction. After graduating from East Carolina University with a degree in Construction Management, he set out for the next several years as superintendent and general manager for a national and then regional builder. Along the way, he grew to know other components related with real estate growth such as land acquisition and development, financing and logistics, and of course executing the mighty real estate transaction.

From there, Matt followed his entrepreneurship spirit and started a building company, Grandfather Homes, Inc. He realized how important the sales transaction was to the success of his company and decided to acquire a broker’s license to better assist his customers in the purchasing of land as well as the selling of his inventory homes. He is committed to bridging the gap between buyers and sellers and understands the necessity for open communication. Because all deals are different, he believes it is important to deliver innovation and originality to each transaction.
